None of the inner planets have rings. Compared to the outer planets, the inner planets have shorter orbits around the Sun, but all the inner planets spin more slowly.

Detailed explanation-2: -The four inner planets have shorter orbits, slower spin, no rings, and they are made of rock and metal.

Detailed explanation-3: -In general, terrestrial planets have a bulk composition that is dominated by rock or iron, and a solid or liquid surface. These faraway worlds may have gaseous atmospheres, but that’s not a defining feature.

Detailed explanation-4: -Earth has unique features that have led to life thriving on the planet. Features like its distance from the Sun, its 24-hour rotation period, its radius, and availability of water on the surface make it unique. Q: What was the Great Bombardment?
